Great Summer Meal

Tonight I tried another Giada creation: Spaghetti with Beef, Smoked Almonds and Basil. The recipe sounds bizarre -- smoked almonds on a raw tomato, basil and lemon sauce? Really?! But the results were amazing. The lemon and basil gave a fresh kick and the smokey almonds added some hidden crunch and tasty flavor. We made it with filet mignon, but I would try it again with chicken, too, for an alternative.

Jack ate his spaghetti one strand at a time to savor the flavor. At least that's what I'm telling myself.
